Novels by Atty. Catherine S. Parino

When Elara accepts an invitation to spend the Winter Solstice at her best friend Lyra’s enchanted family manor, she expects laughter, magic, and warmth. What she doesn’t expect is Kaelen—the Alpha, Lyra’s father, and the man she should never desire. The manor is alive with shifting staircases, whispering portraits, and celebrations that sparkle like crystal. But beneath the joy lies danger: Elara’s heart beats faster whenever Kaelen is near, betraying her promises of loyalty. Forbidden attraction. A house of secrets. A holiday that could change everything. Will Elara resist temptation, or will the manor claim more than just her soul?

Catriona Agreste didn’t come to the city to fall in love. She came to win. A first-year law student financing her degree through a prestigious internship at Reid Capital, Catriona lives by one rule: never surrender control. Not in court. Not in life. Not to men like Shawn Reid. Shawn Reid doesn’t lose. Billionaire CEO. Strategic mastermind. A man who negotiates power the way others breathe. Discipline is his currency. Control is his comfort. Emotion? A liability he eliminated years ago. Until her. When Catriona challenges one of his corporate decisions, she doesn’t just question his strategy — she disrupts his balance. What begins as intellectual rivalry ignites into a dangerous power dynamic neither of them anticipated. He tests boundaries. She redraws them. But when ambition turns intimate and control becomes temptation, the lines between mentorship and desire blur. And in a world where power is everything… Who will surrender first? Or will they both lose the one thing they swore to protect — themselves?

Cattleya Vermont is a priest’s daughter and medical prodigy—trained to understand life, and secretly trained to end it. At night, she becomes the Church’s most feared executioner, sent after things that shouldn’t exist. Then she meets Rusty Vesper. A reclusive quintillionaire aristocrat who is always where he shouldn’t be, always calm in situations that should break a man, and always one step away from every truth she’s chasing. People around him disappear from records. Investigations collapse. And the closer Cattleya gets, the more reality begins to feel wrong. She should walk away. Instead, she doesn’t. Because something about Rustyfeels like an answer she was never meant to find. And in a city where faith, medicine, and monsters overlap in silence… some truths only reveal themselves when it’s already too late to turn back.

Three years ago, I fled with nothing but the secret growing inside me—the Alpha’s pup he would never know. Now I am Dr. Veronica Sanchez, the most feared surgeon in the realm. They call me the Queen Surgeon of Ruin. In my hands, life is not a gift. It is a verdict. When Justin Halderman, the Supreme Alpha who discarded me for his precious Alpha Princess, collapses bleeding and poisoned at the doors of my Black Veil Clinic, the entire realm holds its breath. He is on his knees. Bleeding. Poisoned. Begging. The man who once ruined me is now completely at my mercy. And mercy? I don’t believe in it anymore. Not for the Alpha who chose power over the omega he knotted and abandoned. Not when our son—his heir, his legacy—stands just beyond his reach, hidden in the shadow of my empire. He wants to live. He’ll have to pay for it. With his pride. With his body. With every last shred of control he once held over me. Looking down at the man who broke me, I feel only a delicious thirst for ruin. This time, I won’t run. This time, I decide who survives… and how beautifully they break.

Two elite athletes. One brutal corporate machine. No room for error. Danica Jones is a fierce, talented hockey player who has fought her entire life to be taken seriously. When she shatters the glass ceiling to become the first and only woman on Harrison University’s elite Division I men’s hockey team, she expects resistance—but nothing prepares her for Captain Caleb Ruiz. Caleb is the arrogant, brooding, and undeniably gifted team captain who rules the ice with an iron fist. He makes it brutally clear he doesn’t want her there, yet his actions tell a different story. Under the guise of "fixing her stance," he deliberately traps her against the boards, his hard, gear-clad body pressing intimately into hers. The tension is immediate, electric, and dangerously forbidden. When a housing crisis forces Danica into the hockey house right next door to Caleb, their biting arguments spiral into raw, addictive lust. Through secret locker room hookups and risky away-game encounters, Caleb confronts a terrifying truth: he doesn’t hate that she’s on his team—he hates how desperately he needs her, both on the ice and in his bed. But the toxic games of the Harrison house run deep. Danica felt seen by an enemy, but Caleb's possessive grip threatens to turn her into just another acquired toy. Everything changes when Kane Harlow arrives. A powerhouse bound by an ironclad family legacy and a predatory corporate contract, Kane represents a completely different kind of danger—and salvation. Caught between the malicious obsession of a broken captain and the territorial, unyielding protection of a man willing to tear down the entire system to claim her, Danica must decide who to trust. Will the arrogant captain ruin her, or will a new vanguard help her take the throne?

After a tragic accident erases her memory of the last five years — including her marriage — a woman wakes up believing she’s still engaged to the man she loved in college… not the husband who would die for her. But what if she fell in love with her husband for a reason she no longer remembers? And what if the truth about their love story is darker than she thinks?
